actpass 1.1.0

ActPass Python SDK — signed action authorization for AI agents (zero dependencies)

ActPass Python SDK

Zero-dependency (stdlib-only) Python client for the ActPass runtime, mirroring the TypeScript @actpass/sdk surface (spec §14).

Install

pip install actpass

Usage (§14.2)

from actpass import create_actpass

# The API key IS your identity: the server resolves tenant + agent from it.
client = create_actpass(api_key="sk_...")

# Preflight + guarded execution in one call. execute_fn runs ONLY on allow/warn.
result = client.guard(
    goal="resolve_refund_request",
    tool="stripe.refund.create",
    resource="stripe:charge:ch_123",
    args={"chargeId": "ch_123", "amount": 14900, "currency": "USD"},
    execute_fn=lambda ctx: stripe.Refund.create(charge="ch_123", amount=14900),
)
print(result["decision"]["decision"])   # allow | deny | require_approval | ...

Other methods: preflight(), issue_passport(), verify_passport(), revoke_passport(), record_evidence(), plus hash_payload() / sign_payload() helpers for evidence hashing.

Behavior

• Fails closed: any non-2xx (except 401/403, which return the parsed body) raises ActPassError; a network failure raises too. guard() only executes your function on allow/warn.
• Tenant is a hint: sent as x-actpass-tenant; the gateway resolves the authoritative tenant from the authenticated principal (§11.2).
• Zero dependencies: urllib/json/hmac/hashlib from the stdlib only.

Test

cd packages/sdk-python && python -m unittest discover -s tests
